Buy Gold Bars

Gold bullion bars are typically the lowest gold buying price option when investing in physical gold bullion. The most popular gold bar sizes are the 1 oz gold bar, 10 oz gold bar, and 1 kilo gold bar. Gold bullion bars can be minted from government gold mints like the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) or private gold mints such as the highly recognized Sunshine Minting Inc. Buying gold bars is a popular investment for both new and experienced physical precious metal investors and long term gold bullion savers.

Most gold investors purchase gold bullion bars instead of coins when they are looking to acquire the most gold ounces for their capital. Gold bars typically do not carry any collectible value and their purchase price is heavily dependent on the producer, purity, and overall weight of the gold bar.

Gold Bullion Bar Sizes

Gold bars come in nearly any size imaginable. The most popular gold bar size is the 1 oz gold bar followed by the kilo gold bar which weighs 32.15 oz. The premium over spot is usually the smallest when ordering bars of larger size such as the kilo gold bar, however a large quantity order of a smaller bar size can also reduce the premium or price per ounce, gram, or kilo paid over the fluctuating gold spot price.

Gold Bars: Government Gold Mints vs Private Gold Mints?

One of the most frequently asked questions is, "What gold bar should I buy?" In addition to the size of the gold bar having an impact on overall price and premium above the fluctuating gold spot price, the gold bar’s mint may affect a gold bullion bar’s pricing slightly. A highly recognizable government gold bar may sell for a few dollars more than a like kind gold bar from a less recognizable privately minted gold bar when you decide to sell your gold bar back to a gold bullion dealer. A gold bullion bar guaranteed and produced by a sovereign national mint such as the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) will typically have a higher premium or slightly higher price when buying, but government guaranteed gold bars typically receive a higher buy back premium when you go to sell your gold bar back to gold dealers or other investors. Similarly, a gold bullion bar from a highly recognizable private gold mint may sell for a slightly higher premium than a smaller less recognizable private gold mint. Live buyback prices for gold bars can be found online on the corresponding product page.

Since gold bars are mostly traded based on their .999 fine gold content, the difference between a highly recognizable gold mint versus a smaller less recognizable gold mint is typically only a few dollars per troy ounce being bought or sold. The most important factor influencing gold bar prices remains the purity and the weight of the gold bar. Virtually all the gold bullion bars we carry are also allowed inside of Gold IRA's.
